The purpose of this trial is to investigate ideological conceptions of women’s education in the 19th century in Brazil. The argument is that from the work of Opúsary Forest (1853) a hegemonical concept of conservative imprint is built up in relation to the role of women in Brazilian society, an example of which is the work of Tito Lívio de Castro, Sociogênese da Women (1892). However, this hegemony has not been achieved without a strong dispute and is highlighted in this trial by the collection of texts published by Francisco Bithencourt in 1881 on the occasion of the inauguration of the female class at the Liceu of Arts and Crafts of the River de Janeiro.Key speakers: education history, women’s education. Abstract this essay obligations at investigating the ideological concessions concerning women’s education in the 19 century in Brazil.

A dispute process is present in the collection of texts on women’s education published by Francisco Bithencourt (1881), at the time of the institution of female classes at Liceu de Arts and Crafts of Rio de Janeiro.
